PRISTINA, Dec 3 (Hina) - The UN civil administrator of Kosovo, Harri
Holkeri, has requested that 12 officers of the Kosovo Protection
Corps (KZK) be suspended from duty for six months pending the
completion of an investigation into their links with the outlawed
Albanian National Army (ANA). #L#
Holkeri wants to complete an investigation into a bomb explosion on
a railway bridge near Loznica in the north of Kosovo in April this
year. An Albanian man, who was found to be a member of the KZK, was
killed in the blast apparently while planting the bomb. The ANA
claimed responsibility for the incident.
The KZK commander, General Agim Qeku, met Holkeri for talks, but no
decision was made. The UN mission declined to reveal the names of
the officers in question.
Holkeri has asked representatives of Western nations in Kosovo for
support for his request.
